Due Diligence is Expensive!

You’re ready to buy a business…you've found an accountant to do the due diligence for you, and their quote is £10k plus.

Here’s the tough truth: the cost of due diligence is expensive, and you still have to pay even if the deal doesn't go ahead:

  • ❌ You hand off every check to expensive accountants—only to face bills in the £’000’s, when this money could be used towards buying the business.
  • ❌ You wade through endless documents without a clear roadmap—missing critical red flags.
  • ❌ You panic at the first anomaly or red flag—you stall or walk away…perhaps rightfully, but maybe not? But you still have to pay the expensive fees.
  • ❌ You might overlook hidden liabilities—undisclosed debts, inflated revenues, or legal headaches.
  • ❌ Adding insult to injury, you still have to pay the accountants for their due diligence work, even when the deal falls through.
  • ❌ You lose negotiation leverage because you’re under-prepared when it matters most.

💣 The result? You drain your budget, watch deals collapse, and kick yourself for not spotting problems yourself.

The Smarter Way To Do Your Own Your Due Diligence

Don’t hand over your deal to costly accountants—be the expert in your own purchase.

With our in-house due diligence training, you can:

  • Run rapid financial health checks—no hefty accountant fees needed.
  • Know what information to ask for to check the business numbers.
  • Uncover hidden debts & inflated revenues before they become deal-breakers.
  • Negotiate Head of Terms like a pro—secure favorable terms without overpaying on legal fees.
  • Decide with confidence when to walk away or move forward to meet the owner.

This is how smart buyers control costs, eliminate surprises, and close deals on their own terms.

Buying a business isn’t risky when you follow a proven step-by-step process

You’ll feel totally confident evaluating and negotiating the right deal.

Go from unsure to unstoppable — confidently buy a million-pound business using my 5-step blueprint.

The safest way to learn business buying — designed for professionals who’ve never bought a business before.

Having bought my own million-pound business from someone using seller financing, I help high-achieving professionals who feel overwhelmed by the idea of buying a business and afraid of making a costly mistake go from confused and stuck to confidently buying a million-pound business with zero guesswork — even if they’ve never done it before.

You're tired of the 9–5 and want out — but you don't know where to start, I’ll show you how to go from stuck in your career to owning a profitable business that pays you — without needing a huge deposit or a startup idea.

You want to buy a business, but you’re unsure how to value it, fund it, or negotiate the deal. I’ve been there — and having bought a business that had £1.6m in revenue, I can help you go from second-guessing everything to closing your first deal with total confidence, using a proven 5-step framework.

"In terms of value, your course is outstanding!"

"In terms of value, your course is outstanding!…yours I thought was sensational value…I love your spreadsheet, I think it’s just like gold…I just really like the way that you teach, I loved it…for me your course overall value, ease of learning, it’s the best one that I’ve done!"

"It’s definitely helped with the confidence side of things..."

"it’s definitely helped with the confidence side of things…explaining what the actual benefits would be to the seller, so understanding that side of it…it helps me definitely build my confidence with it already just by explaining the other side."

"I highly recommend anyone to go and learn from him as he’s a phenomenal teacher..."

"I first saw Russell on youtube, and although a bit skeptical in the beginning, I still went ahead and bought his course; I am so happy i did because he is a phenomenal teacher who keeps things simple and easy to understand; especially because he’s a qualified accountant he makes accounting easy. Throughout the course I learned how to go and buy a business through seller financing (which is something i looked to learn for a long time) but he also teaches other ways to acquire a business: he’s very knowledgeable with skin in the game. Not only is the course great, he’s also very fast and clear when he answered all the questions i had after i enquired a business i wanted to buy. Russell’s support is unmatched. Overall I’m grateful Russell created the course and very happy i bought it because it gave me the confidence to go and apply all his teaching in real life: I highly recommend anyone to go and learn from him as he’s a phenomenal teacher."
